New work platform enhances safety

 Outreach Ltd launched its new OSB250 Elevating Work Platform, purposely designed for use within the drilling derrick on offshore installations. “This new machine offers greatly enhanced safety and flexibility to those who are tasked with operating and maintaining drilling equipment,” says Wilson Paton, Outreach’s chairman.

The OSB250 Elevating Work Platform offers enhanced safety and flexibility for workers on offshore installations.

 Five new orders for OSB250 platforms have been received from leading drilling companies, operating in the North Sea. These orders helped to tide Outreach over while the company worked on new distribution arrangements for the US, Far East and South America. Gary Potts, Outreach’s director of sales, finalized new distributor arrangements with Patriot Mechanical Handling, part of the AIM Listed Global Marine Energy PLC, during the recent Oil and Gas Equipment Exhibition in Brazil. This latest batch of orders is the first to result from the new collaboration.
